Marni Craven’s journey into acrobatics began during the lockdown of 2020, when she started training virtually with Jessica Jones Acrobatics. What started as a simple way to stay active quickly turned into a passionate commitment to the art. Inspired by her role model Simone Biles, Marni devoted herself to the discipline with unwavering focus. From home workouts to performing on stage, she developed both physical skill and mental resilience—laying the foundation for what would become an extraordinary journey.
Marni embraced every opportunity to grow as a performer. Training every day after school and assisting in weekend workshops, she cultivated a strong work ethic and began to share her passion with others. Her love for performing led her to engage in public displays and creative projects, helping her build confidence, stage presence, and a community of fellow young athletes who inspire and support her.
Even with her intense training, Marni maintains a joyful balance with family, friends, and school. She enjoys fun outings, quiet moments, and staying grounded. Through her social media presence, she motivates young performers across the world. Her motto—“Give 110%”—drives every move she makes both on and off the stage.
